When I first saw the prices on Betfair for the BMW Masters I had hoped the bookmakers would follow suit where YE Yang was concerned having jumped on at 100/110/120 I wanted to see maybe 80/1 e/w - however with a top priced 50/1 and some at 33/1 I just have to pass. He is in good form finishing 2nd and 3rd in his last two events in China and Korea this month and of course he has two wins in China in the past - maybe worth a look at in running I guess as he knows how to get the job done and can even outplay the big guns. Obviously we need to find a player who can go head to head with the big players and come out on top and an on-song Michael Campbell is capable of doing that but he really hasn't been on song for some time. A few months ago he swapped back to an old coach who trained him when he won the US Open and the results are beginning to show highlighted by a 3rd in the Portugal Masters last time out. He has played in mainland China ten times and has five top five finishes - admittedly when playing good golf so he is comfortable in the region. The million dollar question is - is he back? Last time out he was 4th in the all round stats and warmed up in China in a posh pro-am last week and I am prepared to take a small risk 0.25 ew 150/1.
You're bold men backing Campbell and Casey. I like both of them, but I'll be waiting for more proof they're 'back' before backing either of them again.

A few small bets on outsiders - Kjeldsen, dyson and wienerburger.
Big on Colsaerts for a few weeks but will trade if tight.
Pure punt on singha beer for 1st round leader.

McIlroy, I thought, played very well, within himself, to shoot -5 today in 1st round. Also helping him were 2 players, Westwood and Rose. 3 solid rounds from them. Hope Rory gets drawn with another nice group for 2nd round. Where will we see that draw initially? @Pokenon....good picking @90 J Donaldson. Pity he was a 5 unit stake rather than the others you did for 20. Anyway, enjoy and good luck to everyone.

Stake back on Noren leaving him a nice winner. Added EMol, nice start and about time he did something. I think Jamie Donaldson should be drug tested immediately. EPO had to play a part in that round.

Managed to lay Hanson at 2.92, didn't get it all matched but enough to give me a nice green on Rory - and the field, not that it will matter and boy wonder will walk this in from here.

Good 2nd round from McIlroy as I expected. His tournament to lose now but still have to keep in mind that only 50% of the golf is played yet,so his price is not value in any shape or form. Am happy to see Shane Lowry has brought his Portugese form with him and a stellar 2nd round from him. Hope he gets a nice cheque at the end of the week.

Hansen still holding strong. Rory hopefully had his worst round on day 3 but he still made up a shot on Peter. Anybody on McIlroy @6.0 or more should definitely back Hansen now, if only to cover the initial stake.

well if j rose shoots -8 or -9 he can jag a win. maybe even less if hanson and rory wobble. and if that happens, i hope bvp and inbee park also salute and i get new mizuno clubs he holed a clutch putt on the last yesterday to not be -10 and i was fist pumping like a madman. even casey, fisher and hoey are lingering hoping for that jamie donaldson EPO round

thanks mate. i'm somewhat feeling it of late and believe i'm really close to a really big win. last week before round two i asked garrido for -5. i got it in the third round(he apologised for it being one day late). yesterday i asked for -9 from van pelt, i got it (he even doubled the last to get -9. as if he was a pakistani fast bowler bowling no balls to show he is following orders ) hopefully rose is also one day late like garrido with his -9

Well done to Shane Lowry....5th on his own...after winning the Portugese........needs one more decent tournament to consolidate his position on the money list as far as I can make out. Can chack the European website when they update it. Nice one, CantCatchMe

It looked good on my TV and when a good judge like Wayne Riley says it is a very good shot, that will do for me.
he was lucky ? he played for the slopeI am no Hanson fan but credit where credit is dueIt looked good on my TV and when a good judge like Wayne Riley says it is a very good shot, that will do for me.
